BLURB:

Between his time in the Marines and the years he’s spent working at Hamilton Security, there’s not much that takes Greg Wright by surprise anymore. That is until he gets assigned to guard a promising new candidate in the upcoming election; a man from Greg’s past and the one person he’d hoped to never see again.

Christopher Brooks has made a name for himself as an honest, hardworking, and fair man. As a candidate in the election for Governor of Illinois, his positive views on minority rights, especially those in the LGBTQ community have gained him considerable support as well as the attention of some of the more radical groups. When he begins receiving threats, warning him to drop out of the race, he concedes to the need for a bodyguard. That is, until he comes face to face with the man hired to protect him. The only person he’d ever given his heart to and the same man who shattered it.

Forced to spend nearly every minute together, the two men must find a way to get along and put their past hurts aside, but as the election heats up, so do things between the two men. Will they be able to put their past differences aside in order to keep Christopher safe and will they finally be able to find a peaceful resolution?

REVIEW:

I don’t think I will ever be able to go back to Chicago without dreaming of getting the chance to meet all of Annabella Michaels sexy men!

Greg Wright is part of the elite team of men that Micah Hamilton has assembled to protect those in need in the Windy City. When Micah asks him to go and check out the new assignment that Hamilton Security has been hired to protect he never thought that he would be asked to protect the man that shattered his heart in high school right before he left to serve in the Marines! Christopher Brooks is the bright new candidate running for the Governor of Illinois. He’s smart, sharp, trustworthy and openly gay which is making the openly homophobic “The Organization for the Old America, better known as the O.O.A.” very upset. They are adamant that he can’t win and are showing up in force where ever Christopher is campaigning. Now his parents, successful surgeons, are so concerned that they hire Hamilton Security to protect their only son. But when Christopher sees who is sent to watch over to guard him he can’t believe his eyes…Greg Wright, the man who tore his heart out in high school!

I love a good second chance story and this one has several twists that even I couldn’t figure out. Why was both Christopher and Greg upset that the other man broke his heart when he was young? That was the part of the story that intrigued me and then made me so sad. I know it was all in the name of love and protection but it still caused so much unseen heartache and and a lifetime of distrust of true love.

I loved both these men and my heart went out to them for what happened in high school. Recently I have found, in my readings, that I either fell for one character or the other. In this particular book, I fell for both. Both equally had the right to be bitter and guarded. And I love that they were still attracted to each other after so many years. Them having it out was long overdue and a great way to resolve that particular plot problem.

I am a huge fan of Annabella Michaels and all the men from her “Souls of Chicago” and “Hamilton’s Heroes” Series’s. It is always great to get to see glimpses of all the men we have fallen for throughout these two amazing series. She does a great job of giving us glimpses into many of their lives and what’s going on in them currently, which is a huge bonus in my mind. Characters tend to become real in my heart when you invest so much time in a long series and it’s always nice when an author catches us up..

I highly recommend this book. Our lgbtq+ community is becoming much more open and involved with our political process and this was a wonderful insight into the challenges they still face when running for office.
